Recruitment of a new CEO is proceeding but China Haidian intends to take the time to find the ideal person for the post.

While of course this is business, I am sad to read this news. Eterna was really starting to turn around - producing a coherent collection, and the an exciting new movement that will undoubtedly be the launching pad to something even better. And what I think is easy to forget in all of the noise is that the Spherodrive in many ways IS Patrick Kury - remember, he was the head of engineering.

Whether the watch world is happy about it or not, we must remind ourselves that this is business. To quote Mr. Cronkite -
